Bad reputation

Stephen King's plans to take over all of the airwaves continue with his first project for Lifetime. "Big Driver," based on one of his stories, stars Maria Bello as a famous novelist determined to get revenge when she is assaulted by a serial killer. Olympia Dukakis and rocker Joan Jett also star. 7 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime

Two's company

Joyce DeWitt slips out of Mr. Furley's eyesight just long enough to appear in "My Boyfriend's Dogs," in which she plays a restaurant owner who aids a young woman (Erika Christensen) who is obsessed with the unconditional love provided by her ex's pups. No word on whether Suzanne Somers stops by the diner for a slice of pie. 8 p.m. Saturday, Hallmark

Heeeere's Homer!

Believe it or not, "The Simpsons" is unveiling its 25th edition of "Treehouse of Horror" with parodies of Stanley Kubrick movies and the feature film, "The Others." John "Cliff" Ratzenberger gets up from his bar stool long enough to provide a guest voice. 7 p.m. Sunday, KMSP, Ch. 9
